Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper (optional)
  • 1 shallow dish
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 meat mallet or rolling pin
  • 1 cooking thermometer (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 pounds total.
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup olive oil or melted butter For drizzling.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  • If the chicken breasts are thick, use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness of about 1 inch. This ensures even cooking.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
  • Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated, then dredge them in the Parmesan and almond flour mixture, pressing down to adhere well. Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the olive oil or melted butter evenly over the coated chicken breasts for extra crispiness.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the crust is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to keep it juicy.

Notes

Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
You can customize the seasoning in the crust to your liking, adding herbs or spices if desired.
Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
